    Most recently created blogpost first.

    So I've seen a similar post to this one on this subform already but I got a few error messages trying the same solution so I decided to create a new post.

    I am trying to make it so when I create a new blogpost it shows that one at the top of the Blog page.

    Here is my cshtml for the macro:

         @using ContentModels = Umbraco.Web.PublishedModels;
    @using Umbraco.Web;
    @inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage
    @{
        var startNodeId = Model.MacroParameters["startNodeId"] != null ? Model.MacroParameters["startNodeId"] : Model.Content.Id;
    
    
        var numberOfPosts = 3;
        if (Model.MacroParameters["numberOfPosts"] != null)
        {
            int.TryParse((string)Model.MacroParameters["numberOfPosts"], out numberOfPosts);
        }
    
    
    }
    @if (startNodeId != null)
    {
        @* Get the starting page *@
        var startNode = Umbraco.Content(startNodeId);
    
        if (startNode == null)
        {
            <div class="blogposts">
                <h1>There are no posts at this time, try again later.</h1>
            </div>
    
            return;
        }
    
        //Gets all blogposts to calculate pages
        var blogposts = startNode.Children.OrderBy(x => x.CreateDate).ToList();
        var pageCount = (int)Math.Ceiling((double)blogposts.Count / (double)numberOfPosts);
        //gets the page from the querystring and sets it to one if it is out of range
        var page = 1;
        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Request.QueryString["page"]))
        {
            int.TryParse(Request.QueryString["page"], out page);
            if (page <= 0 || page > pageCount)
            {
                page = 1;
            }
        }
        //Gets the blogposts for the current page
        var pagedBlogposts = blogposts.Skip((page - 1) * numberOfPosts).Take(numberOfPosts).ToList();
    
        if (pagedBlogposts.Count > 0)
        {
            <div class="blogposts">
    
                @foreach (ContentModels.Blogpost post in pagedBlogposts)
                {
                    <a href="@post.Url" class="blogpost">
                        <div class="blogpost-meta">
                            <small class="blogpost-date">@post.CreateDate.ToShortDateString()</small>
                            <small class="blogpost-cat">
                                @Html.Partial("~/Views/Partials/CategoryLinks.cshtml", post.Categories)
                            </small>
                        </div>
                        <h3 class="blogpost-title">@post.PageTitle</h3>
                        <div class="blogpost-excerpt">@post.Excerpt</div>
                    </a>
                }
            </div>
        }
    
        if (blogposts.Count > numberOfPosts)
        {
            <div class="pagination">
                <nav class="nav-bar nav-bar--center">
                    @if (page <= 1)
                    {
                        <span class="nav-link nav-link--black nav-link--disabled">Prev</span>
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        <a class="nav-link nav-link--black" href="@(Model.Content.Url + "?page=" + (page - 1))">Prev</a>
                    }
    
                    @for (int i = 1; i <= pageCount; i++)
                    {
                        <a class="nav-link nav-link--black @(page == i ? " nav-link--active" : null)" href="@(Model.Content.Url + "?page=" + i)">@i</a>
                    }
                    @if (page == pageCount)
                    {
                        <span class="nav-link nav-link--black nav-link--disabled">Next</span>
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        <a class="nav-link nav-link--black" href="@(Model.Content.Url + "?page=" + (page + 1))">Next</a>
                    }
    
                </nav>
            </div>
        }
    }
    

    Apologises if this is a big ask as I do not know much of C# and would appreciate this very much, thank you.

    Hi Svumo

    Would changing this line:

    var blogposts = startNode.Children.OrderBy(x => x.CreateDate).ToList();
    

    to

    var blogposts = startNode.Children.OrderByDescending(x => x.CreateDate).ToList();
    

    make the change you are after?

    regards

    Marc
